Verdict
Bewitchment was a big disappointment when odds-on at Brighton last week and the Godolphin duo make more appeal. Jockey bookings suggest Chord Chart is favoured of that pair after a debut at Nottingham but WICKHAMBROOK is just preferred on his fifth in a much better maiden at York earlier this month. Black Geronimo will need to step up on his debut run at Bath to figure while Without Truth makes most appeal of the newcomers ahead of Ellalan.
